Chapter 296 Film Commercialization
When it comes to movies, Zhang Yi is indeed a wild man.
The script was written after I read the sample in Wangshang and then based on the plot that I remembered like an image in my mind.
As for filmmaking, I just learned it from working on "The Five Lucky Stars" made by Hong Jinbao and others. Then, from easy to difficult, I shot previous works, using the original version as a reference, and accumulated experience bit by bit.
Even though "Boxing Fighter" is mostly a script conceived and written by Zhang Yi instead of plagiarizing the original version, it is still inseparable from the influence of the original version. If he hadn't been reborn through time travel and watched countless movies in his previous life, even if Zhang Yi had a photographic memory,
Even if I have a forgotten memory, read countless books, and have profound knowledge, it is impossible to make such a great achievement in movies.
Forget about Oscars, I’m afraid it’s already good if you make a movie that doesn’t lose money. How can a movie be so popular? Moreover, many of Zhang Yi’s movies are popular, not just because of the movie itself, but also because of other factors.
factor.
Just like the reason why "Boxer" can surpass the box office of "The End of the World" is entirely because of Zhang Yi's hijacking case and the explosive news that the martial arts building killed Japan's number one master Yi Guoyuan.
Imagine that in the past life, someone could turn a low-budget bad movie into a box office of nearly 100 million yuan by virtue of his own popularity. It can be seen that both the director and the actor still have such a huge impact on the movie box office.
Nowadays, Zhang Yi's movies are selling well at the box office, and his own popularity accounts for a large part.
Zhang Yi is good at writing, but not good at speaking. He is not very good at deceiving people. When he went to the film school to give lectures, Zhang Yi inevitably felt a little guilty, but more importantly, he was embarrassed.
He never felt that he was so good at movies.
He knows his own affairs, but others don't. Who would have thought that Zhang Yi was reborn from the 21st century.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Yi is now a legend. In the field of film, he is definitely the number one Chinese.
Hong Kong films have gradually opened up the international market and impacted Europe and the United States. Zhang Yi is definitely responsible for this. Moreover, he is definitely the most appealing and influential Chinese filmmaker in the world.
"To be honest, I really don't know what to say! If they understand, I may not understand. If they don't understand, I may not understand." Zhang Yi said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Zhang can just talk about it casually. For example, Mr. Zhang's views and understanding of movies." Dean Li added, "Mr. Zhang went from Hong Kong to Hollywood. He also co-produced movies with mainland China. For movies from the three places,
, I believe he understands it very well. He is well-informed and can talk about it casually. I believe those students will benefit a lot from it.”
"Can you just talk casually?" Zhang Yi looked at Dean Li and asked immediately.
"Of course." Dean Li said immediately.
"Okay then." Zhang Yi nodded and then said to Dean Li, "What do you think the time is?"
"When will Mr. Zhang be free?" Dean Li said quickly.
"Otherwise, I will go to Xi'an tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then return directly to Hong Kong." Zhang Yi said immediately.
"Then tomorrow!" Dean Li said immediately.
The next day, Zhang Yi got up early to practice boxing as usual. Then he gave some instruction on Luo Shukai's boxing skills.
Zhang Yi has now entered Dan Jin. On top of his boxing skills, he is naturally deeper, and there is no problem in giving guidance to Luo Shukai.
I have been practicing hard for ten years, but I am not as good as a famous teacher. Luo Shukai has received Zhang Yi's guidance in the past two days, but his boxing skills have made rapid progress. Even many Sun sect boxing skills will come to Zhang Yi for advice. Of course, Zhang Yi will not hide his secrets.
"Master." Luo Shukai walked up to Zhang Yi and hesitated to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it. When did you become arrogant?" Zhang Yi glanced at Luo Shukai and said immediately.
"When I return to Hong Kong this time, can I take someone with me?" Luo Shukai took a deep breath and asked immediately.
"That girl I saw that day?" Zhang Yi asked with a smile.
Luo Shukai smiled sheepishly and then nodded.
"Does her family agree?" Zhang Yi asked immediately.
"Of course I agree." Luo Shukai said quickly.
"Then take it with you." Zhang Yi nodded and then said, "Before I return to Hong Kong, I will go to Xi'an. Are you with us or are you going back by yourself?"
"Let's go back together." Luo Shukai said immediately, then glanced at Zhang Yi and asked curiously, "Master, have you seen the chief?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Yi nodded, and then asked curiously, "Why do you ask this?"
"Just out of curiosity." Luo Shukai said immediately.
"Boss, people from the film school are here." Lin Xiao came in and said immediately.
"Yes. Let them wait for a while, I will change into clothes and go over." Zhang Yi nodded and said immediately.
The film academy and later generations still produced many outstanding figures. Of course, the outstanding figures were only in the entertainment industry.
When I arrived at the film school, there was a huge welcome banner at the school gate, which was very conspicuous.
"International great director Zhang Yi."
Zhang Yi smiled and said to Zhang Yi next to him, "When did I become a great international director? Why didn't I know that?"
When Zhang Yi heard this, he knew that Zhang Yi was making fun of him, so he smiled and said, "How has Mr. Zhang ever cared about this? Is Mr. Zhang going to visit the students first, or go directly to the auditorium?"
"There's still time, let's take a look around first." Zhang Yi looked around, then looked at Zhang Yimou and said, "Do you have any new film plans recently?"
"No. I am currently studying at a film school." Zhang Yimou said immediately.
"Are you interested in being a photographer for the next movie? However, the movie will start shooting in February next year. In addition to shooting in a studio, the exterior scenes will be on a small island in the Maldives. It may take a few months.
Not necessarily." Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Yi and said immediately.
"It's a great honor to be the photographer of Mr. Zhang's film." Zhang Yi said excitedly after hearing this, "I wonder what Mr. Zhang's film is?"
"Jurassic Park" has been very popular in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States, but few people know about it in mainland China. It makes sense that Zhang Yimou doesn't know about it.
"Jurassic Park!" Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Jurassic Park!" Zhang Yi was a little surprised when he heard it. He had heard of this movie to some extent, and had also read the novel adapted from the script, which had a profound impact on it.
When Zhang Yi came to the auditorium of the Film School, it was densely packed with people. Dean Li gave a brief speech and then handed the podium to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi walked up to the podium with a smile. Although there were many people in the auditorium, Zhang Yi could be considered a person who had seen strong winds and waves, so he would not be nervous about it. There were some older people sitting in front of him. Judging from their appearance, they should be the leaders of the college.
And the teacher, as for the college at the back, there are even two people sitting on the same seat, and one is squeezed next to it.
There was overwhelming applause, and Zhang Yi waved his hand. After the scene calmed down, he immediately said with a smile: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhang Yi, and I come to Hong Kong. Although I have been making movies for several years, I am not very old. Li Li
The dean invited the students to talk about movies, so I felt a little uneasy, mainly because I was afraid of misleading others."
"I have never studied film systematically. Compared with other professionals, I am just an amateur. Therefore, if I tell you about professional knowledge, it is purely a matter of practice." Zhang Yi looked down and said with a smile, "Have I filmed it?"
I don’t have many movies, and the only thing I’m proud of is probably that I haven’t lost money on any movie yet.”
"You may think that movies are sacred, and it is too vulgar to be associated with money. But you have to admit that without money, you can't make movies! Moreover, movies themselves have some of the 'properties' of economic activities such as 'business'
, which is the so-called 'commercial nature'! Today, we will talk about the commercial nature of movies."
"The original movies only used 'novelty' as a selling point like vaudeville, but relying solely on the sense of 'novelty' like vaudeville magic is not enough to make movies what they are today. In fact, the commercial nature of movies is different from that of general commodities.
There is a huge difference. If there is no difference, then the whole world will only need the continuous copying of one movie, because general commodities require production to be unified and standardized. Movies are also influenced by artistry, and they need to be original.
It should be aesthetic and at the same time convey emotions..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
